Here’s Why Relationships Are Really Challenging For People Who Overthink

We’ve all experienced the hardship of keeping a certain relationship alive. We all know how much efforts and how much energy a bond needs to survive.

Every relationship is a challenge. Even the one that looks dreamy and perfect on the outside sometimes faces hailstorms and hurricanes on the inside.

But, when you add anxiety and a person who tends to overthink everything, that’s when it gets truly insufferable. It’s right at that moment when confusion and doubt take over, and sanity starts to fade away.

Overthinking is a harmful habit. Even though it sounds like a regular, everyday routine, overthinking can truly destroy a relationship.

But, sadly not all of the sufferers out there understand this. When an overthinker dives deep inside the realms of their mind, their logic and sanity go immediately out of the window.  Everything they once knew is gone. Every fragment of reality is missing. And the deeper they go, the more issues they create.

Problems that have never existed, situations that have never been there in the first place, people who have never said or done anything the overthinker believes they’ve done.

Their mind is literally playing tricks on these people.

Suddenly, they’re paying too much attention to details. They notice everything you do, and they search for a hidden meaning behind your actions. Every move, every breathe, every eye roll, every gesture is a potential red button that if pressed has the power to trigger their insecurities.

Even if there’s nothing suspicious about your hand gestures or the way you talk, overthinkers would still analyze your behavior and create a certain dark, unimaginable scenarios in their mind. They simply cannot help it.

However, no matter how difficult these people sometimes are, overthinkers still deserve to be loved and respected. They simply hope that one day they’ll meet a person who will find a way to understand their peculiar souls and troubled minds.

Someone who would reassure them that everything is fine. Someone who would help them overcome their fears, convince them that sometimes everything they dread is simply inside their mind. Someone who would help them understand that they are the only one who can control their mind.

Someone who would help them open up and communicate. Someone who would encourage them to speak up and share their issues out loud. Someone who would be patient enough to read them carefully, understand them and help them fight the urge to destroy everything around them.

 Someone who would accept them with all of their flaws and imperfections, love them for exactly who they are, but also someone who would help them change. Someone who would pick them up when their whole world is falling apart. Someone who would give their best efforts to be there for them when no one isn’t.

Because these people deserve it. They might be a real challenge when it comes to love and relationships, but they deserve to be loved. Because they care. No matter how selfish and inconsiderate or needy they sometimes seem, these people are full of love and affection. They just don’t know the proper way to show it.

Under every bit of anxiety and every layer of paranoia, lays a heart who simply cares too much.

 

8 Reasons Why Strong And Smart Women Have A Hard Time Finding Love

Finding true, pure, once-in-a-lifetime kind of love is certainly not an easy journey. And it’s even harder for smart, strong women. Why? Well, the reason is simple. These women know their worth. They believe in their abilities and strength. They know very well who they are and what they want to achieve in life.

There are many stereotypes about single intelligent, badass women. Many people think they’re too self-confident, egocentric, and emotionally unavailable. They think they’re not interested in relationships and they don’t want to commit. 

But, as I said – these are just stereotypes and nothing more. Because smart, brave women who are used to being on their own are not conceited, shallow, miserable, or unable to love. They’re not difficult to handle and love. They’re simply strong and resilient and they’re aware of their worth.

They’re not afraid to stand up for themselves and they don’t let anyone disrespect them. Oh, and yeah, they don’t waste their time tolerating anyone’s bullsh*t. And as far as their love life is concerned …

Here are 8 reasons why finding love is so hard for strong, smart women:

1. They don’t settle.

Intelligent and strong women have high standards. They know what qualities they want their partner to possess and how they deserve to be treated. And even if they like someone who doesn’t meet their standards, they’ll still put an end to the relationship. They’ll simply never compromise their standards for anyone.

They’ve been betrayed and put through pain, but they’ll never allow themselves to make the same mistake again – to give someone the opportunity to hurt them again. They’ll only choose a man who will prove he’s deserving of their love and trust, and they won’t settle for anything less than that.

2. They stand up for themselves.

A smart and strong woman isn’t afraid to defend herself. She always says what she thinks and she always tells the truth, no matter how cruel and painful it may be. This is what makes them appear intimidating to some men since such women are a threat to their ego.

Additionally, they’re not afraid to call a person out on their behavior when they said or did something that hurt their feelings or when they catch them lying. They always let others know when they’ve crossed their boundaries and they behave the same way in their relationships too.

3. They don’t need a man to feel whole.

They crave deep love and meaningful relationships. Yet, they don’t need a man so as to feel complete and whole. They don’t need a man to feel emotionally fulfilled and happy. They already have successful careers and amazing friends and family. They feel comfortable in their own skin and they’re satisfied with their own lives.

They’ll never start a relationship with someone out of fear of being alone. Because being single doesn’t scare them. What they’re actually afraid of is being with a man who will try to change them and impede their growth. A man who will expect them to be submissive. A man who won’t treat them as his equal and bring even more happiness to their already fulfilled and happy life.

4. They never settle for being someone’s second option.

Yes, this is out of the question. A woman who is aware of her worth will never allow herself to be treated like a second option. She’ll never allow herself to be a part of a bunch of women a guy is dating because he wants to have fun, and once he’s finished, he’ll get rid of them like they’re used, worthless objects.

An intelligent, strong woman is never an option. Therefore, if her man doesn’t put her high on his priority list, I’m sorry, but he doesn’t stand a chance of being with her.

5. They don’t seek other people’s validation.

They know that not all people will like and respect them. That’s why they don’t bother to meet other people’s expectations of them, be that related to their career, friendships, or love life.

They know that the person who is worthy of their love will find them at the right time and  they don’t let other people’s opinions of them or their relationship status define their worth. 

6. They don’t play by the rules.

Don’t expect a smart, independent woman to blindly follow any rules or dating practices that you follow. Such woman is brave and daring and she won’t let anyone prevent her from doing the thing she truly wants to do.

She won’t behave like you expect and want her to. She has her own beliefs and moral principles and she always acts according to them. And you can be sure that she’ll never expect or ask you to follow any dating rules too.  

 

7. Their heart has been broken before.

They are tough, but that doesn’t mean they’re impervious to pain. They’ve been hurt and experienced heartbreak. They’ve been betrayed and disappointed many times before. They’ve dated men who took their love for granted and broke their heart.

And this has not only made them stronger, but it has taught them a valuable lesson. They’ve learned that some guys are ready to do anything to get what they want, and once they do so, they show their true face. They’ve learned that not every man who swears he truly loves them is honest and deserves their trust and love.

8. They know when it’s time to move on.

A smart, strong woman will never beg someone for their attention and love. If her partner doesn’t treat her as she deserves and if he’s not willing to fully commit himself to her and the relationship, she won’t think twice about walking away and moving on with her life.

8 Reasons Why Badass Women Approach Relationships Differently

Badass women are fierce, resilient, and independent. They’re able to take care of themselves because they know they deserve the best. These women don’t depend on others for their happiness because they’re already happy and fulfilled and they’re aware of their worth.

And you might think that a woman who is courageous, powerful, and beautiful was born this way, but no. Hell, NO! The woman of this kind wasn’t born under a lucky star.  Life hasn’t always been like this to her. Instead, it’s been hard.

Life knocked her down several times. It showed her things she never wanted to see. It showed her what sadness and failure really felt like. And her beauty … her beauty comes from inside of her.

Yet, she always managed to get up. Every time she fell, she managed to rise up and shake off her pain, and every time she rose up stronger. Because she was never a victim, nor will she ever allow herself to be one.

This kind of woman is in total control over her life. She knows exactly what she wants in life and how to get it. And she certainly knows what she wants in her partner and relationship.

So, if you’ve been lucky enough to love and be loved by such woman, make sure you always bear the following things in mind so that you know what to expect in your relationship with her.

Here are 8 reasons why badass women treat relationships differently:

1. They aren’t looking for a relationship to be “saved.”

No. They learned at a young age that the only person who could save them was the person staring back at them in the mirror. They never relied on anyone for their help and support, so why start now?

In her relationships, an alpha woman doesn’t look for a hero who will save her. The reason why she’s is with you is not that she’s afraid of being lonely or that she wants to feel happy, loved, emotionally fulfilled, and worthy. She already feels that way.

She doesn’t need you to buy her expensive gifts and take her to fancy places. She can afford all that on her own. This woman is with you because she truly loves you and finds you special too.

2. They know what kind of man they want to be with.

They’ve been in a couple of crappy relationships with guys who didn’t know how to treat them right and appreciate them. Guys who took them for granted and broke their hearts. And this has been nothing else but a valuable experience that has taught them a lesson.

These sh*tty relationships have taught them what types of men don’t deserve to be a part of their life. Fickle, shallow, manipulative, unfaithful men and one-sided relationships are not for these women. They simply weren’t made to deal with that kind of bullsh*t.

So, if such woman feels a connection with you, you’ll know it. If she finds you worthy of her love, she’ll let you know it too. And if the first two conditions aren’t met, don’t doubt she’ll let you know it, too, so that both of you don’t waste your time.

3. They know how to manage their emotions.

Strong women are emotionally mature. They can recognize and control their own emotions – they don’t need anyone to do that for them. Due to this quality, they’re easy to talk to during arguments.

They don’t yell and shout at you or insult you. They’d never allow themselves to lose their temper and let their strong emotions gain control over their actions and decisions.

And this is exactly how this woman expects you to treat her during arguments. She expects you to be able and willing to talk things out and solve any disagreement in a mature, adult, civilized kind of manner.

4. They’re not afraid of conflict.

Strong women never sweep problems under the carpet. They never let any hurtful word or action remain unattended and fester. Instead, they openly and directly address their problems, be that small or big.

So, if she finds some sort of misunderstanding between you or feels something is not right in the relationship, know that she won’t hesitate to talk about it with you and try her best to reach a solution that will be the best for both of you.

You should also know that she’ll always be patient and willing to listen to your point of view without judging and criticizing you or making you feel unimportant.

5. They see a relationship as a team.

They’d never be with someone who would slow them down in life. Someone who would stand in the way to their happiness and success. They choose men who they believe are capable of keeping up with them in every aspect of life. Men who are strong, resilient, resourceful, and committed like they are.

So, if you’ve been lucky to call this kind of woman yours, know that she’s with you because she knows you’ll always have her back. You’ll always be there to encourage her through her losses or when she makes a mistake.

6. They don’t get jealous easily.

It’ll take you a while to gain the trust of this kind of woman. You’ll have to try hard to earn it and prove that you deserve it. Yet, you should also keep in mind that once you win her trust, it doesn’t mean you can do whatever you want.

If this woman trusts you, then she has no worries about who you hang out with or why you sometimes come home late from work. And she certainly doesn’t get jealous when you post selfies of you and your female colleagues on Instagram. Hell, no. This lady is perfectly well aware of her worth and she’s not falling for those tricks.

Yet, please, remember not to take her trust for granted because if you betray it, you’ll never win it back again.

7. They don’t seek casual relationships.

Badass women don’t want to be with someone who will make them feel warm and comfortable in winter. They want their man to be there through every season and to always be willing to weather all the storms together with them.

They don’t want someone who will say yes to everything they say. Instead, they want someone who will speak his mind and stand up for himself when he knows he’s right about something.

This kind of woman looks for someone with whom they’ll be able to connect on a deep emotional, mental, and spiritual level. They look for serious, meaningful, soulmate kind of relationship, and they’d never settle for anything less than that.

8. They have clear goals and dreams.

A fierce, independent woman doesn’t need a man to guide her through life. She knows exactly where she’s headed and how to get there.

Just because she is with you, it doesn’t mean she’ll give up on her goals and passions. That’s out of the question. And don’t think that she’s self-centered or selfish because of this. She just knows her priorities.

She wants you to have your own goals, dreams, and desires so that you both have something to work towards while supporting and inspiring each other along the way.

This Is The Reason Why She Got Attached So Easily

No, she didn’t fall for your deep, green eyes that carry a whole universe inside of them. She didn’t fall for your charisma, nor did she fall for your moves.

She got attached because the minute your eyes locked, she saw something in you. Something out of this world. An intense, transcendental energy that made her instantly realize that you were the one person she looked for her entire life.

She got attached because, for the first time in her life, she found hope. She looked into your eyes and she saw something real. Something that she has been missing. A flicker of faith. A possibility of a future.

It doesn’t matter that you haven’t been long together. It doesn’t matter that you know each other for only a week. The fact that your paths finally crossed made her aware that this is it. The minute your hand touched her cheek, she knew. This was it. That one-lifetime event we all read about in novels. The long-awaited genesis.

And she got attached sooner than she expected. To the idea of you. To the idea of being happily ever after. To the idea of pure, true and everlasting love.

The thing about her is… She never gave up on love. For many years she was struggling with bad relationships, her heart was turned in two, her soul was poisoned, and her light was dimmed by many people who simply didn’t see her worth.

But, despite the hardship, she never gave up. Despite the pain, she still believes in the good in people. She still believes in their potential to be true. She still believes that her happily ever after is somewhere out there waiting for her.

She has faith that someone out there who might not even know who she is is living their ordinary life while they unconsciously take small steps towards her.

And now, she hopes that this could be you.

So, if you like her, don’t be scared of her love. Don’t be intimidated by her straightforwardness and her intense emotions. Don’t be afraid to show her how you really feel. Don’t be afraid to give in. Don’t be confused that she gets attached easily.

This woman craves attention. She wants intimacy. Passion. Real love. Fireworks. Sparks. Commitment. Honesty. She wants to feel all of this and more.

So, she goes all in. Despite all of the risks that are flashing red and all of her fears which remind her that she might get hurt again, she goes all in. She risks breaking her heart, losing her soul and falling even deeper than she was.

But, the only thing that keeps her alive and well is her faith that you two can find love. That she will be loved the way she deserves. That she will give all of her love to someone who recognizes her worth. That she will find someone who will never let her go.

That the someone she keeps believing in is you.

6 Superpowers People Who Suffer From Anxiety Hide From Others

We all feel anxious, i.e. worried and nervous from time to time, like when we have problems, be that at home or at work, or when we have to make an important decision. However, to people who suffer from anxiety disorders, anxiety is much more than just a temporary feeling of worry or fear.

Anxiety is overwhelming, debilitating, and damaging. It makes the person suffering from it constantly deal with  unreasonable thoughts and panic attacks, and it prevents them from leading a normal life and being productive.

Undoubtedly, living with anxiety has many disadvantages, yet there’s one positive side. Anxiety is always accompanied by a heightened sense of perception.

People struggling with anxiety have more developed perceptive skills than those who don’t suffer from this disorder. Oh, and yes, they possess certain superpowers that they successfully hide from others.

Here they are:

1. They can feel the energy of others.

People who suffer from anxiety can easily tell whether a person has a positive or negative energy. Negative people fill them with stress and make them feel uncomfortable while being in the company of positive people is always easy and relaxing to them.

2. They’re highly empathetic.

Not only do people struggling with anxiety have a good understanding of their own emotions, but they also understand very well the feelings and energy of those around them. This helps them create a better connection with others.  

An anxious person can easily sense when you’re going through a tough period and struggling with problems and they’ll try their best to help you out.

3. They have high IQ.

This is no wonder considering the amount of time they spend analyzing situations. They never make a plan or decision, no matter how big or small, without envisioning every possible outcome of it.

This means that their brain processes huge amounts of information all the time and this is something that can’t be done without higher IQ.

4. They easily spot lies.

People with anxiety are extremely cautious. They can easily detect lies. They can tell when a person is honest and has good intentions with them and when they’re trying to lie to them.

So, if someone says something that makes no sense to them or that doesn’t match up, they won’t hesitate at all to point that out.

5. They’re detail-oriented.

Anxious people pay a very special attention to details. They notice and remember details about other people and things that nobody else does. For example, they can tell you what you wore or what joke you shared on the last family gathering or party you attended together.

Paying attention to small details might seem difficult and exhausting, but to them, it’s a second nature.

Additionally, compared to most people, not only are they interested in the effects, but they also try to find and understand the causes. And, of course, this is no wonder, since these people have highly developed perceptive skills.

6. They have a life-saving instinct.

People who suffer from anxiety have an increased awareness of the things going on around them. And another characteristic anxious people have in common is that they spend a great amount of time thinking about all the possible outcomes of their decisions and plans. These two traits enable them to easily detect danger and respond to it.

So, it turns out that anxiety doesn’t always have to be overwhelming and debilitating. It can also serve as a survival mechanism.

 

 

An Open, Heartfelt Letter To The Person Who Will Love Me Next

Dear future person who’ll love me next,

Whoever you are and wherever you are, I don’t know how or when our paths are going to cross, but I feel like I have to open my soul and share something with you.

I am not a person who lives a half-assed life.

Unlike most, I am someone who loves fully. Passionately, fiercely and deeply.

So, it won’t be easy, but I swear to you… it will be worth it.

Some have said to me that I’m a difficult person to love, but that is only because my love was too much for those people. Some of them were too afraid to accept my heart when I offered to give them. Some of them were too intimidated by my courage to risk everything in order to be with them.

But, I admit it, those were my mistakes. I went far out on a limb with my feelings. I believed someone would catch me, but the truth was… there was no one out there. So, I fell, and I hurt myself.

And that is why now, I’m guarded. It’s true… I don’t really trust people. It takes time for me to free myself and be exactly who I am in front of others. But, the one thing that has never changed, nor will it ever change, is the fact that I still love truly.

That part of me never died. I know the consequences of wearing my heart as a sleeve. But, I cannot love any other way.

I love deeply. I love hard. I love passionately. I love the right way.

The only thing I need right now is time.

So, please, be patient with me.

It will take some time for me to get to know you, to start trusting you, to undress my soul in front of you and give myself to you, but we will get there. If that is the same thing you want, I promise you, we’ll make it.

Because I want you. I want all of this. I want you and me forever. I want all of our dreams fulfilled. I want us to make it. I want us to experience the love people write books about. I want us to remember the story that we fought hard to be together. Because we deserve this chance. You and I deserve to love and feel loved. We owe it to one another.

The only thing you have to do is to trust me. Show me that I can trust you as well. Show me that I can be myself around you and I will let you explore the depths of my soul. I’ll let you touch those parts of me that I’ve been hiding for ages.

Show me that this is for real, and I will teach you to love your own demons and accept your painful past. Show me that you care, and I will do my very best to make you the happiest person alive.

I am not an easy person to love, but if you’re ready and willing to take this chance, I promise you won’t regret it. Just be there. Love me like you mean it. And, I promise I’ll love you even harder and deeper. I promise I’ll love in ways you never knew possible.

I am not an easy person to love, but if you are sure you want to start this journey together, I promise, your life will never be the same.

8 Traits Every Empath Will Try To Hide From You

We all sympathize with and feel compassion and concern for someone when they’re going through rough time or struggling with pain. But, the empath does something more than that- not only do they understand how someone feels, but they can feel their emotions and energy as if they were their own. Yet, this can be a bad thing when they’re surrounded by negative, toxic people.

An empath doesn’t need you to tell them that you’re sad, worried, or depressed – they can feel that. So, if you have an empath in your life, know that you’re lucky. That means you’ll always have someone who will understand how you feel. Someone who will understand your needs and lend you their emotional support when you need it. Someone who will always be there to listen to your problems, help you out, and ease out your troubles.

However, all this comes at a price. Due to their ability to feel and internalize other people’s emotions and energy, both positive and negative, empaths often feel exhausted and depressed. They also feel misunderstood by others and they reach a level of discomfort and even pain where they begin to hide things from the people surrounding them.

Therefore, if you know someone who is an empath, you have to pay careful attention to their behavior and show more understanding of their nature because chances are they won’t talk about their feelings and problems to you. In fact, they’ll do their best to hide them.

Here are 8 traits every empath will try to hide from you:

1. They’re highly sensitive.

Empaths are sensitive to everything that happens around them. Yet, they never show this to the people around them. And the reason they do so is that empaths feel like they have to be a source of strength for others.

They don’t want to worry other people with their problems and be a burden to them. Therefore, they hide their emotions.

2. They internalize other people’s emotions.

Maybe you don’t notice it, but when you’re happy, they’re too, and when you’re down in the dumps, yeah, they feel the same way too. Are you wondering why?

Well, empaths create such a deep emotional connection with others that they absorb their emotions and energy.

However, you’ll never hear an empath talk about this. They don’t want to be thought of as “too sensitive” or even “crazy” as some people may call them.

3. They’re introverted.

You may think that empaths, who are always engaging with other people, love being surrounded by people, but you’re wrong. Because constantly feeling and internalizing other people’s emotions exhausts and stresses them out.

Therefore, they may avoid contact with others and spend some time on their own so as to get a break and recuperate from all the overwhelming feelings and energies they feel all the time.

And yes, they participate in group activities, but there isn’t anything else they value more than their alone time – the time when they feel calm.

4. They love spending time in nature.

We all feel happy and peaceful when we’re in nature. But empaths feel this way even more intensely. And the reason is simple: spending time in nature helps them recharge their batteries and get rid of all the stress they accumulate every day in their encounters with others.

There’s nothing else that fills them with positive energy more than when they walk in the mountains, enjoy the sunshine, listen to the birds, feel the gentle breeze on their skin, or just when they go for a stroll in the park.

5. They detect lies from a mile.

Empaths are the best when it comes to reading other people’s minds. They can easily detect a person’s true colors and intentions. So, if you’re planning to manipulate or lie to someone who is an empath, don’t doubt they’ll feel this even before you open your mouth.

6. They give too much.

Empaths feel a strong need to help others. Therefore, they spend a lot of time and energy taking care of other people’s needs and problems. As a result, they put aside and ignore their own feelings, thoughts, and wants, thereby harming themselves both mentally and emotionally.

Empaths are also aware that they give too much of themselves to others and receive too less. Therefore, it’s important for them to understand that they need to take care of themselves first and focus more on their emotions and needs. Because only when they do so, can they truly take care of and help others without harming their own overall well-being.

7. They’re extremely intuitive.

Empaths have a highly developed intuition and they’re in tune with it. When they need to make important decisions and choices in life, they always listen to and rely on their gut. They simply believe in what their intuition tells them and they follow it.

So, when an empath tries to warn you about something, don’t laugh at them and discard it. Instead, take it seriously.

8. They’re easy targets for negative people.

Although empaths don’t talk a lot about themselves, they’re perfectly aware of the fact that they’re an easy target for toxic, negative people.

Manipulative, phony people are attracted to empaths since they’re helping, full of understanding, and forgiving, and this makes it easier for the manipulator to get what they want from the empath.

Toxic people suck the positive energy and happiness of the empath and leave them feeling completely drained. Therefore, empaths need to be extremely careful when they get the sense that someone is trying to manipulate and take advantage of them. The best thing they could do to protect themselves is to distance themselves completely from that person.

Women Confess: Husbands Stress Them Out Twice As Much As Children

We’ve all heard how women often joke about having an additional kid to care for besides their actual children. The third kid often being their husband.

But, as funny as it sounds, it turns out, women aren’t kidding.

Being a parent is an overwhelming and exhausting experience and having no help from your partner just adds to the pressure.

So, unfortunately, this reality has easily become the major source for stress in many people’s lives.

A survey by Today, which focused on interviewing more than 7,000 mothers, found out that on average the stress levels in most mothers are at an 8.5 out of 10. Yikes. And, if that isn’t enough proof for you, the survey also found that half of these women found their marital relationship with their partner more stressful than their parenting relationship with their children.

In other words, when it came to their everyday stressors, women weren’t hesitant to admit that the biggest source of stress was, believe it or not, their husbands.

According to the survey, most mothers stressed about the lack of time during the day to accomplish everything that needs to be done. Three-quarters of women who were having a partner admitted that they’re doing most of the household chores and they’re the ones who feel more responsible for the parenting part. One in five moms confessed that not having help from their husband is probably the biggest source of their daily stress.

“A 7-year-old is going to be a 7-year-old. But a 35-year-old acting like a 7-year-old is more stressful because they should know better.”

“Often times it seems like I am the only adult in my house. My husband and daughter compete with me for my attention.”

“I am exhausted emotionally and physically when my husband comes home. He feels like another job.”

But, according to Hal Runkel, an Atlanta-area therapist, a married father of two teens and author of “ScreamFree Parenting” and “ScreamFree Marriage, most mothers think that their primary job is motherhood, so as a result, they see their husband as a support.

Naturally, when dads get the support role, it is less likely for them to become the equal partners their wives want them to be. “Marriage is a more difficult relationship than parenting,” said Runkel, 41. However, combining the two of them can be just the right recipe for stress.

The truth is, every relationship, whether it’s romantic or friendly requires work from both sides in order to function and thrive. So, you can only imagine what a marriage needs to survive.  A strong will, pure love and a lot of effort. No matter how loving, rewarding and caring your marriage seems, it is important to realize that every relationship can be stressful at times. And sometimes the additional responsibilities of having children, a full-time job and other relationship only add to that daily stress in your life.

But, in those moments it’s up to you to decide whether you’re going to waste your time stressing which will eventually have harmful consequences on the whole family or you’ll focus on making the relationship a safe and a healthy place for you and your children.

“It’s easy to blame your stress on another person,” said Runkel. “Marriage is emotional weight-lifting. It’s exercise. And when you choose to exercise, sometimes it feels miserable.”

Top 5 Coins to Have a Diverse Cryptocurrency Strategy

The first and most important strategy that every newbie investor should remember is that your portfolio has to be diverse. If you have earned a significant amount of money from one currency and think that it will be your lucky charm for the rest of your life, then you have got the crypto trading concept completely wrong.

Experts believe that investing in a single cryptocurrency has more chances of incurring a loss than when you diversify your investment on several crypto coins. So, even if one coin incurs a loss, the others will be there to recover that loss. Now, the question is, what coins should you invest in that will ensure a stable income.

One of the best ways to keep track of the performances of the coins is by using the Qprofit System, a CFD robot that provides authentic and legit information about cryptocurrencies that can be beneficial for the traders. But for those who are looking to get an insight into the top crypto coins, here are the ones that you need to keep an eye on:

1. Bitcoin

Considered the leader amongst all the coins in the crypto market, Bitcoin is the first crypto with the largest market cap. In fact, many people understand cryptocurrency when Bitcoin is mentioned. You need to be aware of the start and end of the bull run, and the position of the other coins in the market is dependent on how Bitcoin performs.

Every new mom struggling with postnatal rest should hear this

Newborns come with immense joy to the mother and the family at large. Though every pregnant lady cannot wait to hold their baby in their arms, it comes with challenges such as sleep deprivation.  Most parents do not get enough postnatal rest during the night since they have to remain alert to take care of the baby.

The lack of enough sleep during the night makes it hard for the mother to focus during the day. It becomes a recurring cycle of going for days or even months without enough sleep. This habit causes irritability and lethargy in new moms.

You should try to get adequate sleep during the first months after delivery for your safety and sanity. We will enlighten you on how you can fight sleep deprivation and get enough rest while still attending to the needs of your child. Enjoy!

Why are most mothers sleep deprived?

An infant has a different sleep pattern compared to the mother. During the first three months, they spend most of their time in the REM sleep phase. The hours in the night may be too much for a baby to remain asleep till morning. Most of them wake up after 3-4 hours in the night.

You have to be keen on when the baby wakes up feeling hungry or needing a new diaper.  This affects your sleep patterns and prevents you from staying asleep for hours at night. At the end of the night, you could have slept for less than five hours.

Some women have trouble falling back to sleep once they wake up in the middle of the night. It causes sleep fragmentation which, in turn, reduces the amount of time you spend in deep sleep. Every time you wake up to check the baby, you have to begin the sleep cycle again starting from the light stage before you can get to the deep phase. All this translates to exhaustion.

How can you boost postnatal rest?

Sleep when the baby lies down

Most mothers try to finish their chores when the baby is sleeping.  Though the tasks have to be done, they may leave you feeling weak and take away any energy you had left. You should take advantage of this period when the baby is resting for you to get some rest too. Lie down even if you don’t feel sleepy yet and you may find yourself feeling better by the time your baby is up.

Avoid late night TV shows

After delivery, you may have to give up on watching movies late in the night. The light from the TV is not healthy since it makes you stay awake for hours at night. You have to adjust your sleep routine and sleep early so that your body can get enough rest by the time your child calls for your attention.

Do not watch TV for hours before bedtime. The radio, however, can be a sleep aid for new moms. Though noise disrupts sleep, good music from the radio can be soothing and relaxing for any mom. It can help you rest well and also improve your mood.

Get help when you can

Sometimes, it may be hard to handle all the tasks alone and still get enough rest for your body to recover. You may need help from friends and close relatives to handle some chores as you take some short naps during the day. 

Entertain the friends who offer help with the baby when you need it. The father of the child can also be of significant aid especially during the night. You can both take turns to check on the baby when they wake up at night so that each of you can get some good time to rest.

Try to pump breastmilk and store in well so that you don’t have to directly breastfeed the child when it is the turn for your partner to supervise them at night. The opportunity also gives them a chance to bond with the bundle of joy.

Make your bedroom comfortable enough

For you to fight insomnia, you have to ensure that your bedroom is comfortable so that you can sleep soundly with no interruptions. Get a new mattress from Bear mattress and boost the quality of your sleep. You can also set the mood by maintaining a conducive temperature in your room and blocking any light. Utilize a white noise device to help you relax as someone else watches the baby. 

Try horizontal breastfeeding

Breastfeeding as you rest horizontally on your body not only relaxes your body but also makes your child remain comfortable in the position. You have to be careful with horizontal breastfeeding especially if your child suffers from reflux. It may not be convenient for such a child to burp after feeding.

 Plan for a road trip with your child

When they are ready to travel, do not hesitate on taking them for a road trip for a couple of days. This gives you the opportunity to take care of yourself and also relax from the busy schedule. It also gives your partner a break for them to catch some naps when you are gone. Both of you, therefore, can fight sleep deprivation through this strategy.

Conduct sleep training

Once your child turns four months old, you can start sleep training to help them learn how to remain in bed the entire night without feeding. Start by extending the duration when they usually feed at night so that they can begin adjusting to new feeding time. Avoid over-relying on the monitor to train your child to sleep for at least 8 hours without waking you. 

Keep your baby close

Though most couples prefer setting a room for their children, a newborn should sleep close to the mother. Set up a bassinet that remains next to your bed so that you don’t have to keep on visiting them in a separate room. This makes it easy for you to monitor them at night so that you don’t keep on subjecting your feet to the cold floor which can make it hard for you to go back to sleep.
